Hello and welcome to our Jamieson family blog page! We have set up this site to allow us to record and share with friends and family our exploits as we (at long last) begin renovating the derelict water mill at Little Ennochie into what will hopefully be a fab and funky family house!! This has only taken us 3 1/2 years to get this far (and two bambinos!) .... so here's hoping this blog doesn't run for another 3 1/2 years !

As a bit of an intro, the mill is located on the outskirts of the village of Finzean, near Banchory in Aberdeenshire. The building sits on the banks of the river Feugh with great views of open fields and the hills, including Clachnaben. We have been slogging through Aberdeenshire planning and building warrants for what feels like forever, but we now have everything in place and the ball is rolling!

I will endevour to update this blog weekly with updates and photos so will see how that goes! Please keep watching and here's hoping this thing doesn't bankrupt us!

Week 57 - Pellet store going up; decking going down!

Hi,

A few big work fronts have been ongoing this week.  Firstly, the composite deck has started to be laid at last - really dark when I visited site this week but can tell it was looking good.  Product is called TimberTech, really great looking stuff ... plus maintenance free so we never have to stain or protect it ... yippee!!  Outside there was also some major work ongoing with the erection of the pellet store which is now taking shape.

Inside, the bathrooms were continuing to be installed with some showers and fittings going in.  In the kitchen the remaining appliances were starting to get hooked up.

One of our biggest remaining worries is still the glass for the entrance hall, but we had some good news on this and apparently it will all arrive on 10th May.  Some of it coming from Scotland but the biggest bit comes from Europe somewhere.  Fingers crossed it comes intact and fits first time as we're booking removal vans for the 28th May, so there is LOTS to do!!

Apologies for the rubbish pictures this week ... it was nearly pitch black when I made it out!

Decking started ... balustrades not in yet
Decking again ..... different view

Master shower ... can't wait to use this!
For the techno-geeks ... this is a duct outlet for ventilation system (now installed)
